Hi my eggs are starting to hatch after 193 days and I have been feeding micro cricks to the wee ones i also have frute flys which i also have been feeding my prob is that the crcks seem to be a bit on the small size but i can supplement them with dust vit D3 ect can i feed anything a bit bigger some of the babys are 6 days old now. Thanks.

you can feed bigger crickets if you want, just switch to the next size up.

Be a little careful that there are no real big ones in there as I had a baby yemen tackle a full size cricket, tried to swallow it and chokedon it then drop off it's perch unconcious...very funny to watch Embarassed

, I removed the cricket and gently dropped the cham about 5" onto some tissue (try to re-start him), left he there a few minutes when I came back he was up and about...no worse for his adventure.
